hey thanks for the comment on digg I am not sure why you were redirected to a Yellow Pages ad does it do this all the time? what browser are you using?
My blog should not be doing that
I hate when there is No clear navigation on sites.
Hi Make a Pound –
Not sure why it did that, but I will check later in the day again because I thought you had a good article. My computer is clean - no spyware or adware - so I’m not sure what is going on here.
Thanks!
